My expertise spans various project delivery methodologies such as agile, hybrid, and waterfall, and I have a proven track record of leading teams and managing suppliers to achieve exceptional results.

Throughout my career, I have successfully rolled out complex initiatives, including system integrations, new applications, and tools, as well as ERP and CRM platforms. I am well-versed in stakeholder management, negotiation, and communication at VP levels, and I have consistently delivered projects on time, within scope, and at the required quality. My certifications, including PMP, RMP, and Agile Practitioner, further validate my commitment to operational excellence and process improvement.

In my current role at the European External Action Service, I lead application development projects using Agile and hybrid methodologies, introducing innovative systems that enhance operational efficiency.
